200 rounds so far in my 686 and these run well, clean too.
My new go-to Mag Round.

Impressed! - 12/9/2011

Very nice ammo with clean shiny Blazer brass and with something this economical, I was expecting less, but this ammo (at least the box I got) is awesome!

Some like it HOT - 4/3/2012

Reviewer:

The General

I received my two new .357 SASS Vaqueros and I bought 6 or 7 different brands of .357 Magnum ammo from CTD. This was by far the HOTTEST round of all of them. It shot clean and accurately out of both pistols. It was sort of funny to go from .38 Specials to these. When the hammer went down, the people in both booths next to me peeked around the corner. Good stuff. The FPS is pretty high on these, but the larger grain bullet seems to be unique to Independence. After 200+ rounds, my hands were a little raw, but that’s why we’re not shooting .22s!

DANGEROUS - 6/5/2012

Reviewer:

SWB in SATx

I have a Dan Wesson Model 15 .357 Magnum that I have fired for over 30 years without a single hang-up, UNTIL I HAD THE MISFORTUNE TO USE THIS PRODUCT. At the CHL practice range this past weekend, I had fired 15 Winchester rounds without a problem; then, I reloaded with the "Independence" ammunition and experienced THREE misfires out of only nine attempts at firing the new Independence cartridges. I have fired problem-free Federal & Winchester ammunition (usually 158 grain) for over 30 years, and this Revolver has been a cherished and well-maintained weapon; but it took this wretched Independence product to leave that weapon jammed and filthy (was worse than a full day of firing my AR-15). Based upon my experience, I believe THIS AMMUNITION IS DANGEROUS, unless it is pointed at you.
